By being able to be more physical, we engage both ourselves and our audience on a visceral level. How do we become comfortable with being close to each other, and being physical with each other when appropriate to the scene or story? We’ll look at some guidelines and techniques for engaging each other onstage.

Caution: this class can get pretty steamy, so if you don’t like fire, stay out of the kitchen!
